CLOSED - Mansfield & United ELCA Lutheran Sermon Sermons PodCasts

CLOSED - Looking back on this venture now, I am embarrassed to have been involved. I'm leaving this up as a reminder that there is more spirituality in a planted flower or a breeze of air than this particular social get-together. One word: Phoney. Mansfield and United Lutheran sermon podcasts from rural Alden and Walters, Minnesota, USA. Pastor Donny Rose ministers only to local members in attendance, If you are too sick to attend, it's pretty much your end.

ELCA Lutheran Sermon Sermons, Pastor Don Rose "Matters of the Heart" 2006-09-03

The Gift of God in the Savior Jesus changes our hearts that we might live in the fulness of God's grace.

The Holy Gospel according to Mark, the 7th chapter:

Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, 2they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. 3(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; 4and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) 5So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?" 6He said to them, "Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with theirlips, but their hearts are far from me; 7in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.' 8You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition."14Then he called the crowd again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand: 15there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile." 21For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."

(Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23)
